AI Generated Summary

Bill S.F. No. 1095 mandates that all counties and cities in Minnesota must maintain clear and accessible written policies and operational manuals that outline their various duties and procedures. These documents should detail things like forms, deadlines, and payment requirements related to the government operations and must be available for both public inspection and employee training. They can be kept at local government offices and, optionally, can also be published online. The bill also specifies what these manuals should include, especially if they contain information related to legal or law enforcement procedures. Additionally, if fees or assessments are involved, these manuals must provide comprehensive details, including due dates and consequences of non-payment. This legislation thus seeks to enhance transparency and accountability in local government operations.
